Thanks.
Since you have an Nvidia card, installing the proprietary driver may provide better support.
Open a terminal, and run these commands:
Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
sudo nvidia-xconfig
Then restart your machine.
The worst case scenario is that you boot into a black screen. Avoid pressing your power button to restart or power down your machine. Instead, you can get into a text-mode console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or F2). You can login there using your regular user. There you can restart by running:
and turn it off by running:
In any case, booting into a black screen using the Nvidia driver may indicate that your card does not support the kernel mode. To allow compatibility set the flag 'nomodeset' on the grub options.
While in text mode, edit this file:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/defualt/grub
Look for a like that looks like this:
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Add nomodeset to it so it looks like this:
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
Save the file, and reboot.
Hope it helps. Let us know how it goes.
Regards.
